Purpose Investments is thrilled to announce the TMX Group will begin listing options around Purpose Ether ETF today on the Montréal Exchange.

The listing of options solidifies Purpose Ether ETF’s position as the leading Ether ETF vehicle for both institutions and retail investors.

Purpose Investments is also the manager of the world’s first physically settled Bitcoin ETF, the Purpose Bitcoin ETF (BTCC), which has over $1.3 billion in assets under management (“AUM”). Purpose also lists options for Purpose Bitcoin ETF, providing investors with more ways to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

“This is great news for investors and a powerful display of innovation in motion,” said Som Seif, founder and CEO of Purpose Investments.

“It’s been less than three weeks since we launched Purpose Ether ETF, and we’re already seeing the infrastructure for options trading put into place by the TMX Group. Our goal is to continue to bring cryptocurrency into the mainstream by making Ether more accessible to investors, just as we did with Bitcoin.”
